It's billions of years old. We humans are all narcissists at heart, we want to think that the world revolves around us; but we've been on this planet for the blink of an eye compared to how long the earth has been here

Hard to know exactly how old the earth is especially since they didn't measure years the same way we do now back then.

If you're saying our greatest minds on the planet can't put a finger on the age, what exactly are you wanting to discuss here???

It was formed in 4004 BC. If you had been paying attention during the tent revival you'd know that.

earth was once flat until it got old fat and round, so how long that took is anyone’s guess...

I’m more interested in figuring out how we got all this water on our planet. I know the most popular theory is it was brought here by comet impacts. Fist, during the time this was supposed to have happened, the late heavy bombardment period, the earth was mostly a molten ball of lava with little to no atmosphere. I just don’t see how that’s plausible at all considering the massive amount of water we have. Over 70% of the planet is covered in it, most of it several miles deep. Plus you have massive amounts of water underground and frozen in the polar ice caps. That’s a lot of fricking water. So how’d it all get here?

Wow. You think big bang is a conjecture that a "big arse star blew up"?

That "big arse star" was all the matter and energy in the entire universe contained in a subatomic size expanding to the size of a golf ball.

I have always wondered exactly what was it that was supposed to have blew up in the Big Bang. And whatever it was, where did it come from? And what made it explode?

The hottest and most inconceivably dense subatomic particle doubled in size 90 times in a hundredth of a billionth of a second. Universe expanded from there...

What is really fun to think about is that said explosion would have also had to create the laws and mechanics that govern explosions. In other words the explosion would have had to have happen in order to have happened. Only slightly circular.

I don't know but I am sure that we need a quantum computer to figure it out.

You can confirm that number by counting the begats.

Some questions.

1. What was this particle?
2. Where did this particle come from?
3. What interacted with this particle and caused it to heat up to the point of exploding?
4. Where did that whatever it was that interacted with that particle come from?
5. How did one sub-atomic particle produce the entire universe?

It suggests that when the universe was 10^-34 seconds old and all matter and energy was condensed in a subatomic particle that a great and persistent expansion began to occur.
But yes...time, matter, forces and space are a mind frick...
